In 1914 on the 14th of November the Australian royal navy made a significant
contribution when HMAS Sydney destroyed the German raider SMS emden.
On 25th April 1915 members of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) landed at
Gallipoli together with troops from New Zealand, Britain, and France. This began
a campaign that ended with the evacuation of troops on 19 and 20 December 1915.
Following Gallipoli, Australian forces fought campaigns on the Western Frontand
in the Middle East

Trench warfare
In the middle part of the war, 1917-1917, was continued by trench warfare in both
the east and west. The soldiers fought from underneath the dugout trenches, rising
to strike and kill each other with their machine guns, heavy artillery and chemical weapons.
Excepting the fact that each side of the teams lost a fair amount of mean, neither
gained an advantage out of it. (World War I (1914–1919),

The different perspectives
World war one was a totally different perspective from the other teams view. Hundreds of fascinating pictures reveal
the ugly, sad truth behind the trenches of the Germans. These rare images where
taken by Walter Koessler. He took roughly 100 photos, and they were then
preserved by his later generations to this day. (World War One from the Other side, 2013)
